Enjoy 3D movies and more with this Blu-ray powerhouse

Looking for a Blu-ray player that can make easy work of any disc you throw at it? Marantz will answer the call with its UD5007 universal Blu-ray player. This rugged workhorse will take on all comers, including the latest 3D Blu-rays, delivering spectacular visual effects to your 3D-ready TV. Standard Blu-ray titles will be as crisp as ever, as will your DVDs. The UD5007's upscaling technology will give your old discs new life, making them sparkle with high-definition clarity.

Marantz does audio right

This player not only packs impressive video capabilities — Marantz's dedication to audio fidelity means the UD5007 makes a great CD player capable of bringing out the best in your music collection. It even handles high-resolution formats like SACD and DVD-Audio as well as FLAC playback streamed from a DLNA-certified PC. The UD5007 is a great addition to any home theater setup, capable of delivering stunning surround sound to your receiver via an HDMI connection.

Expand your viewing choices with Internet streaming services

In addition to its prowess with physical media, the UD5007 is Ethernet jack-equipped and Internet-ready for streaming movies and TV shows from services like Netflix®, YouTube™, HuluPlus™ and VUDU®. The Internet connection also gives you access to BD-Live, Blu-ray's platform for downloading bonus content for compatible discs. Watch updated interviews, behind-the-scenes features and even picture-in-picture commentary from actors and directors. The UD5007 includes 1 gigabyte of built-in memory for storing BD-Live content. Or simply stick a thumb drive into the front-panel USB port to store content, as well as access your own digital music files, videos or photos.

Built to last

You shouldn't have to buy a new Blu-ray player every other year — so buy one that is built to last. Marantz is well-respected for the build-quality of its audio components, and they've applied that same approach to the UD5007. The solid cabinet, large feet and physical separation of the disc mechanism, display, power supply and processing circuitry are designed to minimize interference and distortion. The fan-less design further reduces unwanted distraction, meaning your Blu-ray player won't be louder than the movies you play on it.

Blu-ray Disc players  the ultimate picture and sound

Blu-ray players deliver a better picture to your HDTV than any other available source. In fact, Blu-ray's 1080p picture is a perfect match for the 1080p screens found on most current TVs. Blu-ray movies also offer the most precise and realistic surround sound you can get. These players do a terrific job with standard DVDs, too  you'll see a cleaner, clearer picture with every disc in your collection. Many Blu-ray players can connect to the Internet for watching online movies from Netflix® and other video services.

CD/Blu-ray disc player is compatible with many disc types.

Blu-ray Disc Compatible: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a new
high-definition disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality
HDTVs. The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is
up to 40 mbps. Blu-ray Discs and players offer several advantages over the
standard DVD format:

Better Picture Quality: Blu-ray Disc is a true
high-definition format offering video at 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or 1080/24p
resolution. While standard DVDs look very good on an HDTV, they don't
provide a high-definition signal (not even when you use an up-converting DVD
player). Blu-ray Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed
picture, with deeper, richer colors.

Greater Storage Capacity: What makes Blu-ray Disc's
superior picture and sound possible is the much higher storage capacity of
Blu-ray Disc discs. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of
data, over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer Blu-ray
Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours of High Definition or
23 hours of Standard Definition video, plus high-resolution multi-channel
audio and the added features and material that require multiple discs with
standard DVD.

Backward Compatible: To ensure backward-compatibility
with your existing library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser
mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a
conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs.

Note: Like DVD, BD uses region codes. The region code on
your disc must match the region code on your player, otherwise the disc will
not play. This player is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1. Blu-ray Disc
uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized
recording of copyrighted material.

Firmware Updates: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve,
new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for
you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the
firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for
downloading from the Internet, via the player's Ethernet port.

SACD: Super Audio CD use a technology called Direct Stream
Digital (DSD) to convert music into a digital signal that can be stored on a
disc. Compared to the traditional PCM method (the technology used for CD), DSD
offers a much higher resolution by following more closely the original waveform
of music. With a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range over
120dB across the audible frequency range - some 64 times higher resolution then
CD - Super Audio CD offers music reproduction that reveals details you just
cannot hear on a normal CD.

AVCHD Playback: The UD5007 will play home videos
recorded in AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264), a high definition digital video camera
format used to record in high definition or standard definition on DVD-R/RW or
DVD+R/RW discs. AVCHD can also be played from a USB flash memory device
connected to the front panel port.

DivX File Playback: The UD5007 supports playback of DivX
(up to DivX Plus HD) files recorded on DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW discs, USB flash
memory, or streamed from the connected network. This unit supports DivX file
sizes up to 2 GB.

JPEG/PNG Playback: The player will also playback JPEG/PNG still
image files written to CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW discs, USB flash memory, or
streamed from the connected network; image resolutions from 32 x 32 pixels to
4,096 x 4,096 pixels are supported. The maximum file size is 12 MB. The name of
the folder and file can be displayed, up to 32 characters. Images can be played
as a slide-show and can be rotated as needed.

MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC Playback: The Marantz Blu-ray player will play
MP3, WMA, AAC, and LPCM audio files written to CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, and DVD+R/RW
discs, USB flash memory, or streamed from the connected network. The name of the
folder and file can be displayed, up to 32 characters. The following file
specifications are supported:

Video Features

High Quality Construction: The Marantz UD5007's sleek
contoured front panel combines both aluminum and reinforced resin composite to
dampen resonance and blend with virtually any décor. The panel's construction
helps resist the destructive effects of unwanted vibration, while the
custom-engineered feet add a further barrier to vibration as well as a nicely
finished look. The Blu-ray player's centrally located disc mechanism places the
critical disc-laser interface in the middle of the chassis to minimize the kind
of artifacts that could impact both audio and video quality. Additional
high-quality design features include:

Fan-less Design: The Marantz UD5007 employs a fan-less
design which makes the player exceptionally quiet during playback.

HDMI Output: The Marantz UD5007 features a single HDMI
output for HD audio and video signal transmission. The HDMI port is version 1.4a
with Deep Color, x.v. color, 3D, and CEC support. Video resolutions include
480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and 1080/24p. There are also Source Direct
(source resolution is not changed) and Auto (outputs the highest resolution
compatible with the connected display) settings.

Note: This player does not feature any analog
video outputs, such as component, composite, or S-video.

1080p Scaling: DVD discs, USB video, and network steaming
video can be scaled, up to 1080p from the HDMI port.

3D Output: You can choose between Auto (automatically
determines whether the video signal is 3D or 2D) or Off (always outputs 2D
video signals).

Screen Size: You can enter the size of your TV from 0"
to 999".

Deep Color: The HDMI output supports Deep Color, increasing
the number of bits available for transmission, meaning more colors. This results
in greater color fidelity, smooth tonal transitions, and ultra-fine gradations
between colors. It also enables many times more shades of gray, for higher
contrast ratio.

x.v.Color: The UD5007's HDMI output supports x.v.Color,
meaning it's ready for x.v.Color discs when they become available in the future.

Progressive Mode: The Marantz UD5007 allows you to set the
appropriate progressive conversion mode for the source video material (film or
video) you are watching. You can choose from:

Auto: Detects the type of video material and
automatically switches the mode. Normally, this setting is used most often.

Video: Suitable for playing video material discs.

Film: Suitable for playing film material discs.

TV Aspect: This function of the Super Audio CD/Blu-ray disc player lets you set
a picture size according to the aspect ratio of your connected television. You
can choose from the following.

16:9 Wide: Select this when a wide-screen TV is
connected; discs recorded in wide-screen format are played over the entire
screen.

16: Squeeze Auto: When playing 4:3 images, the picture
is displayed in the center of the 16:9 screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

4:3 Pan&Scan: Select this to play back the disc
recorded in wide screen format with 4:3 TV in the Pan&Scan mode with the
side of the picture cut off.

4:3 Letter Box: select this to play back the disc
recorded in wide screen format with 4:3 TV in the letter box mode with black
strips at the top and bottom.

Picture Adjustment: You can adjust the picture
quality of the Super Audio CD/Blu-ray disc player's video output connected to your television and
save up to 5 picture setting presets. You can adjust the following picture
settings.

Hue (color tone): Adjusts the balance between
the green and red (-6 to +6).

Chroma Level: Adjusts the density of the colors (-6
to +6).

Setup Level:
Adjusts the black area of the image (0 IRE, 7.5 IRE)

Slow Forward Playback: The unit allows Slow Forward Playback
in three different speeds (1/8, 1/4. 1/2x) for BD-video, DVD-video, DVD-VR,
AVCHD, and DivX discs. Sound is muted during this function.

Resume Playback: This function allows you to resume playback
from the point at which the playback has been stopped on the disc even if the
power to unit is turned off.

Marker: You can mark electric reference points on a disc to
view at a later time. This feature allows you to assign a specific point on a
title or track to be called back later. You can mark up to 12 points.

Zoom: The player allows you to magnify an image on-screen
1.2x, 1.5x, 2x, or 4x that of normal size and then allows you to pan through
that zoomed image. This function is possible on DVD-video, DVD-R/RW, JPEG and
DivX discs.

Angle: Some BD and DVD discs contain scenes which have been
shot simultaneously from various angles. This player allows you to select from
these different camera angles.

Audio Features

to a stereo analog input on a TV or receiver. Even when the source audio is
multi-channel (Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio, SACD), these jacks will output a

Marantz UD5007

Written By Bloomfield, New York on Sunday, November 23, 2014

used this unit to replace an old Sharp bd player, picture quality was fantastic was impress with the sub controls in he menu for picture control and adjustments, finally someone thought of that, most impress with the sound quality better sound quality than my Yamaha cd player. fantastic ,finally I don't have to turn up my receiver to get great sound quality, very satisfied

Pros:great sound and picture quality, faster loading than my old unit, great price for such quality

Solid BD player

It's tricky to review a Bluray player at the mid-price point. With prices for BD ranging from $89 to $1200 and up, it's fair to ask what the differences really are. It's hard to argue that the UD5007 produces a picture significantly better than an inexpensive player costing much less...especially if you are not watching on a very large, top-quality screen. On the other hand, the picture is on a par with my Oppo BDP-95, which costs twice as much.

At this price point, I think you are paying for build quality, and while the UD5007 isn't a high-end product, it has a solid feel. Loading times are just a little slow, but not bad.

If you have other Marantz components and want the look of matching components, or the convenience of interchangeable remotes, this is a good choice.

Worth the money!

You can by an inexoensive blu ray player from and endvap at your local department store these days ... but, if you want one that has phenominal sound reproduction, fast queuing during start up, FF, and chapter skips, then spend the money on this unit. Marantz continues to deliver obvious benefits from their investment in R&D with this player. In addition to the sound quality, the menuing is nice for accessing Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, etc and requires very little time to be come familiar with the user interface.

Nice player - compatible with my otherwise obsolete stereo.

My old DVD player croaked, leaving me without a way to play disks of any kind. The only thing I own with HDMI inputs is my TV which does an awful job decoding audio from HDMI. All sound in my system is handled by an old analog Onkyo 8522 stereo receiver. So, I was looking for a Bluray/CD player with analog RCA outputs which almost uniquely limited to this unit these days. No problem. The sound from the audio output is somewhat better than from the old cheap DVD audio out and in a whole different league than analog audio out of the TV for signal that came in from, say, the Apple TV on HDMI. I prefer the interface to Netflix and and HULU on the Apple TV, but the difference in sound quality far outweighs that slight preference. I almost never use the Apple TV anymore. I do miss the convenience of airplay, but the sound just sucks (because I have to use the TV as a decoder). This review may be irrelevant if you have a modern receiver that handles HDMI audio well - any number of less expensive players have similar features and can send digital signal off somewhere else for decoding, but if you need (or just want) high quality 2ch analog audio out then this is for you.

Marantz UD5007

As to be expected, the Marantz UD5007 is excellent in form and function,as well as, sound and picture quality. I purchased the unit for its primary functions of playing music and movies on disc - whatever disc I happen to select. This unit is a nice compliment to my other Marantz components.

Great Bluray Player!

I received the Marantz UD5007 a couple of weeks ago and have been very impressed. This unit loads movies super fast compared to our old pioneer bluray player. The picture quality is fantastic and the remote is easy to use.

Pros:Fast loading time
Great picture quality
Easy to use
Convenient features on remote such as Netflix button

Too bad...

When this machine worked, it was great. However, I was in contact with Marantz several times about this unit and I was not impressed. The first phone call (first month of ownership) was brought on because the unit liked to freeze up during streaming or when exiting NetFlix in particular. I did a full reset on the machine and it got better, not perfect but better.

A few weeks later I have more issues. If I had a Blu-Ray already in the machine and I turn it on, it would auto start the disc. The UD5007 would sometimes respond to the remote/faceplate commands to STOP. several times it would just keep on going at just not respond to the remote or faceplate. I would have to shut the unit back down and restart and hope it would respond this time.

Yesterday was the deal breaker. I put in a brand new CD (BB King Live in Japan), sounded very distorted and started to skip around... I figure it's the new CD that's the problem. I bring it upstairs to another CD player and it plays fine, bring it my car and fine... Put it back in the Marantz and it played fine. Swapped CD's to John Lee Hooker's Serve You Right to Suffer and it does the same thing. It was acting WAY to similar to my old DV7600 that had nonstop issues.

Marantz was of little help... Crutchfield made it painless to return this unit for a full refund and I'm going with an Oppo unit.

Pros:Looks great and when it works, is a great machine

Cons:Poor build quality and just as poor customer service form Marantz... It's a shame, this could have been a great player.
